By Rhoda Fukushima
Staff Writer
Natural gas leaking from a broken pipe in Pardee Tower forced the evacuation of South Complex residents Saturday.
No injuries or damages were reported, said Sgt. John Lewis, director of records and communication for University Security, and also one of the officers who responded to the call.
The broken pipe was located outside Pardee Tower, in the southeast comer of the building.
“This was a very serious emergency/' Lewis said. "We assigned two (officers) but three ended up showing up. We requested the fire department, physical plant and the gas company," he said.
Securitv notified the gas company because Physical Plant could not get there for an hour, Lewis said.
The natural gas did not pose a safety threat to residents because it dissipated into the atmosphere, said Dick Friend, a gas company spokesman.
The cause of the broken pipe has not been determined, Lewis said.
Bv the time Lewis arrived, the majority of residents in the South Complex — Marks Hall, Marks Tower, Pardee Tower and Trojan Hall — had been evacuated, he said.
"The RA staff did a great job," Lewis said. "It was handled very smoothly."
Students were evacuated for about 20 minutes.
Two Marks Hall residents, Douglas Chapin and Michael Shapiro, smelled the leaking gas and notified security around 5 p.m.
"We could see the pipe from our window. The smell was pretty bad, so w’e shut our window," Chapin said. Both he and his roommate had just returned from the Homecoming football game when they noticed the leak, he said.

By Rose Anne Rodriguez

Steven Ward, chief of university securitv, said he was not notified of the raid until that evening. However, he and other officers were at the scene.
According to one employee who declined to be identified, the Los Angeles Police Department, the LAPD vice squad, the Alcohol Beverage Control and University Securitv blocked both the front and back entrances to the saloon around 12:30 a.m.
"Two police officers went upstairs and told the band to stop playing. Then they made an announcement that the bar was closed and everyone should file out down the stairs," the emplovee said.
The employee said about 55 patrons who didn't have proper identification were put in a seperate room. "Somehow five girls were caught without or admitted that thev didn't have any ID," he said.
The five girls were given citations and will have to appear in court. Ward said.
The saloon employee said that the restaurant manager and both bartenders were also cited and must make court appearances.
The remaining 50 patrons were not cited and were allowed to go home, but not before the vice officers gave them a strong warning. "The officers pretty much warned them to stav awav from (the

KSCR attempting to expand
Trojan football fans mav have been a little disappointed bv Saturday's Homecoming game against Arizona State University, but there was more to see than just a game.
Joined by thousands of alumni, parents and friends, students milled from booth to booth on the crow'ded campus, buying drinks, food and souvenirs. Members of athletic teams hawked their wares, Greeks gathered under canopies on Trousdale Park-wav and former Trojans and their families picnicked on the lawns.
Katherine Jensen and Patrick Gilmore were crowned Mr. and Miss USC at Saturday's pre-game hon.ecoming activities.
At the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Patrick Gilmore ana Katherine Jensen were crowned Mr. and Miss USC in a pregame ceremony. Because the ceremony was well before the game started, not everyone had arrived and many people missed it.
Halftime activities were dedicated to former university baseball | coach Rod Dedeaux, the winningest baseball coach in college baseball. Dedeaux retired last year.
While the USC Trojan Marching Band plaved oldies like "Twist j and Shout," by the Beatles, Glenn Miller's "In the Mood," ana 1 "Fantasy" by Earth, Wind and Fire, seven couples danced in front of the band.
An Elvis Presley impersonator, Hugh Milstein, arrived on a motorcycle and led the dancers from a platform on the field.
Chris Melendez, w’ho organized the Mr. and Miss USC contest, said that he thought Homecoming was a success and that he hopes the contest will become a Trojan tradition.
Because a lot of people missed the crowning at the beginning of the game, Melendez said he tried, unsuccessfully, to present the couple again at halftime.
Hall, a senior majoring in communications.
Last year it cost about 514,000 to operate KSCR. This year, because inflation, the cost is estimated at 517,000.
The station is mostlv selffunded. One source of revenue is advertising. "Our most expensive commercials during prime time, which is between noon to 6 p.m., are 56.55 a minute," Hall said. "Other radio stations will charge you 580 to 5120 (a minute)."
KSCR has had troubles in the past. Begun in 1975, it w’as forced to go off the air in 1980 because of equipment failure and other problems. It returned in January 1983 with the help of its grant from Zumberge and has been going strong ever since.
Today, KSCR is run by 80 staff members. "They love it. As long as you love it, you work hard. If you don't love it, you burn out fast," Hall said of his staff.
Hall said students can still join the staff. Although the jobs are non-paving, staff members gain a great deal of hands-on experience. And "it's not hard to operate if you've ever had a stereo in your life. All the station is, is a large stereo," he said.
"KSCR is a laboratory. It's part of your education, so take advantage of it," Hall said.
To determine what songs will be played, surveys are taken of student opinion. There is also a request line, 743-5727.
If anyone on campus is currently not receiving this station and w'ould like to, drop a note to Student Union 404.

Charles Hall, station manager of KSCR, would like to invite everyone on campus to participate in the growth of the university's radio station, "even if it's only to buy a KSCR 53 AM T-shirt."
The station is seeking to expand its services for the campus. Its staff would primarily like to see an increase in the number of buildings receiving KSCR's broadcasts. The transmission tower located above the Alan Hancock Foundation belongs not to KSCR, but to KUSC, a public radio station. In contrast, the former is a student-operated venture.
KSCR broadcasts reach various buildings through the phone lines, which are hooked up to transformers. Since not every building is hooked up to a transformer, only a few’ buildings on campus receive the broadcasts.
"We're playing good music and no one can hear us," said James McFarlen, a sophomore disc jockev majoring in business. Kerckhott, Birnkrant, Century and Troy are a few housing structures that do receive KSCR. Even Marks Hall, which houses the radio station, aoes not receive its broadcasts. "We could transmit to a one- to two-mile area if we had an antenna," said Maryann DeCandia, a sophomore majoring in history and broadcast journalism.
In 1984, KSCR received a gran* of 595,000 from university President James Zumberge. This sum went toward the purchase of replacement equipment for the improvement of the station's facilities. In addition, the money helped to cover huge transmission and operating expenses.
"Ironically, as soon as we got the grant, AT & T broke up and the phone costs went up," said
